“The Geopolitical tensions in various parts of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in sensitive border regions, have had a significant dampening effect on overall vehicle retail performance in May 2025," the FADA chairperson here said on Sunday.

Expert in automobile dealing for decades, Aggarwal said, "Dealerships have reported reduced footfall, shorter business hours, and delays in test drives and deliveries caused by security checkpoints and logistical hurdles.”

The commercial vehicle segment has also felt the impact, as logistics operations and freight routes through sensitive areas face movement restrictions, revealed the FADA chairperson.

Sharing the figures, he stated that in Jammu and Kashmir, the three-wheeler category witnessed a downfall of -9.07 percent at 952 units in May 2025, as compared to 1,047 units in May 2024.
